🔧⚒🪚🪜 We currently have a lot of building work going on on-site (largely in our Equine area), therefore we unfortunately won't be able to take any arena hires for the next few weeks.
We apologise for the inconvenience and hope to be back running soon!⏰⏳

Spaces still available for poles to mini Grids on Saturday 25th May.
Perfect for gaining confidence in Rider and Horse. Very small jumps 6 or 7 bounces in a row, then a one stride grid of 5or6 fences.
No pressure you can do as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. Great work out and brilliant fun.

We now have all 3 foals born for 2024 and all are having lots of fun!
Follow the link in the original post to see how you could get involved with learning more!

We're delighted to announce the birth of two new Foals at our Common Leys Farm Campus!

Our Mare, 'All Back To Mine', surprised us 3 weeks early, birthing a new foal from stallion Caturra and we are pleased to say that both Mare and Foal are doing well.

In addition, our newest Common Leys Mare welcomed a C**t Foal by the stallion Nando Parrado (pictured above).

Our Level 3 Horse Management students and our Level 3 Equine Apprentice were present at the foaling's and learnt a great deal from being involved and seeing a live birth.
